ICI Pakistan Limited (“the Company”) is incorporated in Pakistan and is listed on Pakistan Stock Exchange Limited. The Company
is engaged in the manufacture of polyester staple fibre, POY chips, soda ash, specialty chemicals, sodium bicarbonate and
polyurethanes; marketing of seeds, toll manufactured and imported pharmaceuticals and animal health products; and merchanting
of general chemicals. It also acts as an indenting agent and toll manufacturer. The Company’s registered office is situated at 5 West
Wharf, Karachi.
These are the separate financial statements of the Company in which investment in subsidiary is stated at cost less impairment
losses, if any.
During the year, the Companies Act 2017 (the Act) has been promulgated, however, Securities and Exchange Commission of
Pakistan vide its circular no. 17 of 2017 dated July 20, 2017 communicated that the Commission has decided that the companies
whose financial year closes on or before June 30, 2017 shall prepare their financial statements in accordance with the provisions
of the repealed Companies Ordinance, 1984. Accordingly, these unconsolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with approved accounting standards as applicable in Pakistan. Approved accounting standards comprise of such
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and Islamic
Financial Accounting Standards (IFAS) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP) as are notified under
the repealed Companies Ordinance, 1984, provisions of and directives issued under the repealed Companies Ordinance, 1984.
In case requirements differ, the provisions or directives of the repealed Companies Ordinance, 1984 shall prevail.
These unconsolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except:
a) Certain classes of property, plant and equipment (i.e. freehold land, buildings on freehold and leasehold land and plant and
machinery) have been measured at revalued amounts; and
b) Provision for management staff gratuity and non-management staff gratuity are stated at present value.
The preparation of unconsolidated financial statements in conformity with approved accounting standards requires management
to make estimates, assumptions and use judgments that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and income and expenses. Estimates, assumptions and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historic
experience and other factors, including reasonable expectations of future events. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised
prospectively commencing from the period of revision.
Judgments and estimates made by the management that may have a significant risk of material adjustments to the unconsolidated
financial statements in subsequent years are discussed in note 44.
Property, plant and equipment (except freehold land, buildings on freehold and leasehold land and plant and machinery) are
stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Freehold land, buildings on freehold and leasehold
land and plant and machinery are stated at revalued amounts less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent
impairment losses, if any. Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost less impairment, if any. Cost of certain property, plant and
equipment comprises historical cost. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts of the property, plant and equipment and
the cost of borrowings for long-term construction projects, if the recognition criteria is met.
Depreciation charge is based on the straight-line method whereby the cost or revalued amount of an asset is written off to profit
and loss account over its estimated useful life after taking into account residual value, if material. The cost of leasehold land is
depreciated in equal installments over the lease period. Depreciation on additions is charged from the month in which the asset
is available for use and on disposals up to the month of disposal.
ICI Pakistan Limited Annual Report 2016 -17 F 11
The residual value, depreciation method and the useful lives of each part of property, plant and equipment that is significant in
relation to the total cost of the asset are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted, if appropriate.
Maintenance and normal repairs are charged to profit and loss account as and when incurred. Improvements are capitalised
when it is probable that respective future economic benefits will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured
reliably. Assets replaced, if any, are derecognised.
Gains and losses on disposal of assets are taken to the profit and loss account, and the related surplus / deficit on revaluation
of property, plant and equipment is transferred directly to unappropriated profit.
Intangible assets with a finite useful life, such as certain softwares, licenses (including extraction rights, software licenses, etc.)
and property rights, are capitalised initially at cost and subsequently stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment
losses, if any.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to
which it relates. All other expenditures are recognised in profit and loss account as incurred.
Amortisation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Amortisation is recognised in profit and loss account on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets. Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are
reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted, if appropriate.
2.5 Investments
Investments in subsidiary and associates are stated at cost less provision for impairment, if any .
Other investments that are stated at available for sale are measured at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs. For
investments traded in active market, fair value is determined by reference to quoted market price and the investments for which
a quoted market price is not available, or the fair value cannot be reasonably calculated, are measured at cost, subject to
impairment review at each balance sheet date.
Stores, spares and consumables are stated at the lower of weighted average cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value
is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less net estimated costs to sell, which is generally equivalent to
replacement cost. Items in transit are valued at cost comprising invoice value plus other charges incurred thereon up to the
balance sheet date.
2.7 Stock-in-trade
Stock-in-trade is valued at the lower of weighted average cost and estimated net realisable value.
Cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location
and condition. Net realisable value signifies the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less net estimated costs of
completion and selling expenses.
Items in transit are valued at cost comprising invoice value plus other charges incurred thereon up to the balance sheet date.
Trade debts and other receivables are recognised at original invoice amount less provision for doubtful debts and other receivables,
if any. A provision for doubtful debts and and other receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Company
will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables (Refer note 41.6.1). Bad Debts are written
off when identified.
2.9 Taxation
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in the profit and loss account, except
to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in other comprehensive income or below equity, in which case it is
recognised in other comprehensive income or below equity, respectively.
F 12 ICI Pakistan Limited Annual Report 2016 -17
Provision for current taxation is based on taxable income at the enacted or substantively enacted rates of taxation after taking into
account available tax credits and rebates, if any. The charge for current tax includes adjustments to charge for prior years, if any.
Deferred
Deferred tax is recognised using balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax
provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using the
enacted or substantively enacted rates of taxation. In this regard, the effects on deferred taxation of the portion of income expected
to be subject to final tax regime is adjusted in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Technical Release – 27 of the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan.
The Company recognises a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits for the foreseeable future will
be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable
that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit and loss account is recognised outside profit and loss account. Deferred
tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Further, the Company recognises deferred tax asset / liability on deficit / surplus on revaluation of property, plant and equipment
which is adjusted against the related deficit / surplus.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash in hand and current and deposit accounts held with banks. Short term finance
facilities availed by the Company, which are payable on demand and form an integral part of the Company’s cash management
are included as part of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of statement of cash flows.
2.11 Impairment
Financial assets
Financial assets are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that they are impaired. A
financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset,
and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.
Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired may include default or delinquency by a debtor, indications that a debtor
or issuer will enter bankruptcy.
All individually significant receivables are assessed for specific impairment. All individually significant receivables found not to be
specifically impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identified. Receivables
that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together receivables with similar risk
characteristics.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying
amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses
are recognised in profit and loss account and reflected in an allowance account against receivables. Interest on the impaired
asset continues to be recognised through the unwinding of the discount. When a subsequent event causes the amount of
impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit and loss account.
Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of non-financial assets other than inventories and deferred tax asset are reviewed at each reporting date
to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is
estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value-in-use and its fair value less
costs to sell. In assessing value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
ICI Pakistan Limited Annual Report 2016 -17 F 13
discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the
purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets
that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of
assets (“the cash-generating unit, or CGU”).
The Company’s corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows. If there is an indication that a corporate asset may be
impaired, then the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the corporate asset belongs. An impairment loss is
recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are
recognised in profit and loss account.
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased
or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable
amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount
that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
The surplus arising on revaluation of fixed assets is credited to the “Surplus on revaluation of property, plant and equipment”
account shown below equity in the balance sheet in accordance with the requirements of section 235 of the repealed Companies
Ordinance, 1984. The said section was amended through the Companies (Amendment) Ordinance, 2002 and accordingly the
Company has adopted the following accounting treatment of depreciation on revalued assets, keeping in view the Securities
and Exchange Commission of Pakistan’s (SECP) SRO 45(1)/2003 dated January 13, 2003:
a) depreciation on assets which are revalued is determined with reference to the value assigned to such assets on revaluation
and depreciation charge for the year is taken to the profit and loss account; and
b) an amount equal to incremental depreciation for the year net of deferred taxation is transferred from “Surplus on revaluation
of property, plant and equipment” account to accumulated profit / loss through Statement of Changes in Equity to record
realization of surplus to the extent of the incremental depreciation charge for the year.
The Company’s retirement benefit plans comprise of provident funds, pensions, gratuity schemes and a medical scheme for
eligible retired employees.
The Company operates a funded pension scheme and a funded gratuity scheme for management staff. The pension and gratuity
schemes are salary schemes providing pension and lump sums, respectively. Pension and gratuity schemes for management
staff are invested through two approved trust funds. The Company also operates gratuity scheme for non-management staff
and the pensioners’ medical scheme which are unfunded. The pension and gratuity plans are final salary plans. The pensioner’s
medical plan reimburses actual medical expenses to pensioners as per entitlement. The Company recognises expense in
accordance with IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”.
An actuarial valuation of all defined benefit schemes except eligible retired employees’ medical scheme is conducted every year.
The valuation uses the Projected Unit Credit method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in full in the period in which they
occur in other comprehensive income.
All past service costs are recognised at the earlier of when the amendment or curtailment occurs and when the Company has
recognised related restructuring or termination benefits.
The Company operates two registered contributory provident funds for its entire staff and a registered defined contribution
superannuation fund for its management staff, who has either opted for this fund by July 31, 2004 or have joined the Company
after April 30, 2004. In addition to this the Company also provides group insurance to all its employees.
F 14 ICI Pakistan Limited Annual Report 2016 -17
The Company recognises the accrual for compensated absences in respect of employees for which these are earned up to the
balance sheet date. The accrual has been recognised on the basis of actuarial valuation.
Leases, other than those under Ijarah contracts, in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained
by the lessor, are classified as operating leases. Ijarah contracts are classified as operating leases irrespective of whether significant
portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by lessor. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives
received from the lessor) and Ijarah contracts are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the period of
the lease.
Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value net of directly attributable cost, if any.
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense
in the period in which these are incurred except to the extent of borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction or production of a qualifying asset. Such borrowing costs, if any, are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.
2.17 Provisions
A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past
event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can
be made of the amount of obligation. The amount recognised as a provision reflects the best estimate of the expenditure required
to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.
All financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value plus directly attributable cost, if any, and subsequently measured at
amortised cost.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated to Pak Rupees, at the foreign exchange rate prevailing at the date
of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are re-translated into Pak Rupees at the foreign exchange
rates at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences are taken to the profit and loss account.
Items included in the unconsolidated financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment
in which the Company operates. The unconsolidated financial statements are presented in Pak Rupees, which is the Company’s
functional and presentation currency.
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can
be measured reliably. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts,
rebates and government levies.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the
customer. For those products which are often sold with a right of return, accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide
for such returns at the time of sale.
ICI Pakistan Limited Annual Report 2016 -17 F 15
Profit on short-term deposits is accounted for on a time-apportioned basis using the effective interest rate method.
Financial expenses are recognised using the effective interest rate method and comprise foreign currency losses and markup /
interest expense on borrowings.
Financial income comprises interest income on funds invested. Markup / interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit and
loss account, using the effective interest rate method.
2.23 Dividend
Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the period in which the dividends are approved.
However, if these are approved after the reporting period but before the financial statement are authorised for issue, disclosure
is made in the financial statements.
Segment reporting is based on the operating (business) segments of the Company. An operating segment is a component of
the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and
expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company’s other components. An operating segment’s operating results
are reviewed regularly by the Chief Executive Officer (the CEO) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment
and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.
Segment results that are reported to the CEO include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be
allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets, income tax assets, liabilities and related
income and expenditures. Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the year to acquire property, plant and
equipment.
The business segments are engaged in providing products or services which are subject to risks and rewards which differ from
the risk and rewards of other segments. Segments reported are Polyester, Soda Ash, Life Sciences and Chemicals, which also
reflects the management structure of the Company.
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate risks arising from
operational, financing and investment activities. In accordance with its treasury policy, the Company does not hold or issue
derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting are accounted for accordingly
whereas, derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for as held for trading instruments. All changes in
the fair value are recognised in the profit and loss account.
2.26 Off-setting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the unconsolidated financial statements only when
there is, legally enforceable right to set-off the recognised amount and the Company intends either to settle on a net basis, or
to realise the assets and to settle the liabilities simultaneously.

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other
price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's overall risk management policy focuses on the unpredictability of financial
markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance.
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework.
The executive management team is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company’s risk management policies. The
team regularly meets and any changes and compliance issues are reported to the Board of Directors through the audit committee.
Risk management systems are reviewed regularly by the executive management team to reflect changes in market conditions
and the Company’s activities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop
a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The audit committee oversees compliance by management with the Company’s risk management policies and procedures,
and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market
prices. Market risk comprises of interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market
interest rates. The Company mitigates its risk against the exposure by focusing on short-term investment and maintaining adequate
bank balances. At the balance sheet date the interest rate profile of the Company's interest-bearing financial instruments were:

The Company does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, therefore a
change in interest rates at the balance sheet date would not affect profit or loss.
If KIBOR had been 1% higher / lower with all other variables held constant, the impact on the profit before tax for the year would
have been PKR 46.910 million (June 30, 2016: PKR 44.367 million).
F 40 ICI Pakistan Limited Annual Report 2016 -17
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
foreign exchange rates. Foreign currency risk arises mainly where receivables and payables exist due to transactions entered into are
denominated in foreign currencies. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on sales and purchases which are entered in a
currency other than Pak Rupees. When the management expects future depreciation of Pak Rupee, the Company enters into forward
foreign exchange contracts in accordance with State Bank of Pakistan instructions and the Company’s treasury policy. The policy
allows the Company to take currency exposure within predefined limits while open exposures are rigorously monitored.
Following is the gross balance sheet exposure classified into separate foreign currencies:
Sensitivity analysis
Every 1% increase or decrease in exchange rate with all other variables held constant will decrease or increase profit before tax for
the year by PKR 28.935 million (June 30, 2016: PKR 19.245 million). The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to the change
in exchange rates. As at June 30, 2017, if Pak Rupee (PKR) had weakened / strengthened by 1% against other currencies, with all
other variables held constant, the effect on the Company profit before tax at June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 would be as follows:

Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognised at the reporting date if counter-parties failed completely to perform
as contracted. The Company does not have significant exposure to any individual counter-party. To reduce exposure to credit risk the
Company has developed a formal approval process whereby credit limits are applied to its customers. The management also regularly
monitors the credit exposure towards the customers and makes provision against those balances considered doubtful of recovery. To
mitigate the risk, the Company has a system of assigning credit limits to its customers based on evaluation based on customer profile
and payment history. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. Some customers are also secured, where possible,
by way of inland letters of credit, cash security deposit, bank guarantees and insurance guarantees.
The Company's gross maximum exposure to credit risk at the balance sheet date is as follows:

F 42 ICI Pakistan Limited Annual Report 2016 -17
41.6.1 The recommended approach for provision is to assess the top layer (covering 50%) of trade receivables on an individual basis
and apply a dynamic approach to the remainder of receivables. The procedure introduces a company-standard for dynamic
provisioning:
• Provide an impairment loss for 50% of the outstanding receivable when overdue more than 90 days, and
• Provide an impairment loss for 100% when overdue more than 120 days.
The sector wise analysis of receivables, comprising trade debts, loans and advances and bank balances are given below:

prices such as equity price risk. Equity price risk is the risk arising from uncertainties about future values of investment securities.

liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through

The Company's objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern so that
it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and to maintain a strong capital base
to support the sustained development of its businesses.
The Company manages its capital structure by monitoring return on net assets and makes adjustments to it in the light of
changes in economic conditions. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of
dividends paid to shareholders or issue new shares. The Company also monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net
debt, interest bearing loans and borrowings including finance cost thereon, less cash and bank balances. Capital signifies equity
as shown in the balance sheet plus net debt. The gearing ratio as at June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 is as follows:

In the case of assessment year 1998-99, the Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue (The Tribunal) on September 19, 2008 had set
aside the assessments made by FBR. The re-assessment was finalized by the department on June 29, 2010 in which the issues
pertaining to date of commissioning of PTA’s plant & the tax depreciation claimed thereon, restriction of cost of capitalization of
PTA plant and addition to income in respect of trial production stocks were decided against the Company. The Company had
filed an appeal against the said order before the CIR (Appeals) which was decided on November 24, 2015 in which the issue of
date of commissioning of PTA’s plant & the tax depreciation claimed thereon and the issue of addition to income in respect of
trial production stocks were decided in Company 's favour however the issue of restriction of cost of capitalization of PTA plant
was decided against the Company. The Company and FBR have filed the appeals on respective matters decided against them
in Tribunal the hearing of which is yet to be conducted.
In the case of assessment year 2002-2003, on receipt of notice under section 62 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 1979, the
Company had filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court, after it being dismissed by the Sindh High Court on maintainability,
challenging FBR’s notice which stated that the effective date of PTA’s demerger was August 6, 2001 (falling in assessment year
2002-03) rather than the effective date given in the Scheme of Arrangement as October 1, 2000 (which falls in assessment year
2001-02). The notice had raised certain issues relating to vesting of PTA assets by the Company. On March 18, 2015, the Supreme
Court has passed an interim order stating that this case has nexus with the case of assessment year 2001-02 and hearing will
take place once the High Court decides the case in assessment year 2001-02. The High Court decided the same in favor of the
Company and stated that the assessment for AY 2001-2002 is time barred. The department filed an appeal in the Supreme Court
against the order of the High Court. On March 13, 2017, the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of the department pertaining
to assessment year 2001-2002 and upheld the directions of the High Court and adjudged the case as being barred by limitation
and thereby restoring the position in the original order whereby unabsorbed depreciation was allowed.
ICI Pakistan Limited Annual Report 2016 -17 F 45
Further, the Supreme Court gave directions to the company vide its order dated March 14, 2017 to file its reply to the notice dated
May 26, 2005 with respect to AY 2002-2003. Thereafter the Company submitted its response to the department in consultation
with its external counsel. On May 15, 2017 the DCIR passed its assessment order disallowing depreciation relating to PTA assets,
Capital Gain on Transfer of PTA Plant, Capital Gain on exchange of Shares, Financial charges on loans Subordinate to Pakistan
PTA, Excess Perquisites, discounts, Interest paid to ICI Japan, Provisions and Write Offs. An appeal with the CIR has been filed
by the company against the said order. This appeal is still pending. Further, the Company filed an appeal in the Sindh High Court
against the said order which has granted stay against the said order.
Depreciation relating to PTA assets pertaining to AY 2001-02 was absorbed against tax payable in AY 2002-03 to 2010. As a result
of order dated May 15, 2017 for the AY 2002-2003 whereby a certain portion of the said depreciation was disallowed, ACIR on
June 15, 2017 issued orders for the Tax Years 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 whereby the spillover impact
of the disallowed depreciation was taken. This resulted in tax payable by the comapany for the Tax Years 2008, 2009 and 2010.
An appeal with the CIR has been filed by the company against the said order. This appeal is still pending. Further, the Company
filed an appeal in the Sindh High Court against the said order which has granted stay against the said order.
In the case of Tax Years 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, FBR had made disallowances on the matters
related to provisions charged under various heads, financial charges, gain on disposal of fixed assets, exchange loss, proration
of expenses against capital gains and interest free loans offered to employees. The CIR (Appeals) has allowed all the issues in
Tax Years 2003 to 2010 in Company's favor (except 2 issues in tax year 2003 and 2010) against which appeals have been filed
by FBR in the Tribunal. Out of the 2 issues which were not decided in Company's favor, one relates to disallowance of financial
charges in tax year 2003 which has now been decided in company's favor in the order dated June 15, 2017, whereby with
respect to issue pertaining to tax year 2010, we have filed an appeal in the Tribunal against CIR (Appeals)’s decision.
The Additional Commissioner Inland Revenue (ACIR) through its order dated June 07, 2012 disallowed tax loss on disposal of
fixed assets on the grounds that the same were sold through negotiations and not through auction as required by law. ICI filed
an appeal against the said order with the Commissioner Inland Revenue (CIR), who decided the appeal in company’s favor.
Consequently the ACIR being dissatisfied with the CIR order filed an appeal with the ATIR. ATIR through his order dated December
01, 2016 decided the matter against ICI. ICI had filed an appeal in the High Court against the said order, the hearing of which is
yet to be conducted
Availing the exemption as per clause 103 A, Part 1, 2nd Schedule of Income Tax Ordinance 2001 on inter-corporate dividend
paid to Group Company entitled to Group Relief under section 59 B of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001, ICI disbursed the
dividend without tax deduction to Lucky Holdings for dividends announced on 27th August, 2015 and on 19th February, 2016.
However, Federal Board of Revenue not being satisfied, through an Order dated 2nd September, 2016, has called for the deposit
of tax on such dividends along with penalties and additional tax. The Company filed an appeal against the said order in the High
Court which has granted a stay against the said order. The Company is confident that there is no merit in this claim of FBR
"In course of conducting a sales tax audit for the period July 2012 to June 2013, DCIR of FBR raised certain issues with respect
to exemption and zero-rating / reduced rate benefit available to the Company on its sales. On September 12, 2014 the Company
received an order in which demand of PKR 952 million was raised. An appeal was filed with CIR(A) which was decided against the
Company however directions were given to DCIR to amend the original order if the returns are revised by the Company subject
to approval of FBR itself. The application for revision of return filed by the Company is pending with FBR. The Company being
aggrieved has filed a suit in the Sindh High Court for relief in which the Court has granted ad-interim relief till the next date of hearing
which is yet to take place. The Company is confident that there is no merit in this claim of FBR regarding revenue loss and hence,
considering no probability that the case would be decided against the Company, no provision in respect of this has been made in
these financial statements.
Certain actuarial assumptions have been adopted as disclosed in note 18 to the unconsolidated financial statements for valuation
of present value of defined benefit obligations and fair value of plan assets. Any changes in these assumptions in future years
might affect gains and losses in those years.
The estimates for revalued amounts, if any, of different classes of property, plant and equipment, are based on valuation performed
by external professional valuer and recommendation of technical teams of the Company. The said recommendations also include
estimates with respect to residual values and depreciable lives. Further, the Company reviews the value of the assets for possible
impairment on an annual basis. The future cash flows used in the impairment testing of assets is based on management's best
estimates which may change in future periods. Any change in the estimates in future years might affect the carrying amounts of
the respective items of property, plant and equipment with a corresponding effect on the depreciation charge and impairment.

required to be mentioned on dividend warrants. Shareholders are therefore, requested to submit a copy of their valid CNIC/SNIC (if
not already provided) to the Company’s Share Registrar, FAMCO Associates (Pvt.) Ltd. 8-F, Block-6, P.E.C.H.S., Shahra-e-Faisal,
Karachi. In the absence of a member’s valid CNIC/SNIC, the Company will be constrained to withhold dispatch of dividend warrants
to such members.
Pursuant to the requirement of Section 242 of the New Companies Act, 2017, shareholders are MANDATORILY required to provide
their bank account detail to receive their cash dividend directly in to their bank accounts instead of receiving it through dividend
warrants. In this regard and in pursuance of the directives of the SECP vide Circular No. 18 of 2017 dated August 01, 2017,
shareholders are requested to submit their written request (if not already provided) to the Company’s Share Registrar, giving particulars
of their bank account detail. In the absence of a member’s valid bank account detail by October 31, 2017, the Company will be

Dividend income on shares is liable to deduction of withholding tax under Section 150 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 and
pursuant to Finance Act 2017, effective July 1, 2017, a new criteria for withholding of tax has been introduced by Federal Board of
Revenue (“FBR”). According to the revised criteria, tax is to be withheld based on ‘Filer’ and ‘Non-Filer’ status of shareholders @
15% and 20% respectively where ‘Filer’ means a person whose name appears on the Active Taxpayers List available at e-portal of
FBR (http://www.fbr.gov.pk/) or a holder of “Taxpayer’s Card” and ‘Non-Filer’ means a person who is not a filer.
Furthermore, according to recent clarification provided by the FBR; in case a Folio/CDS Account is jointly held, each joint-holder is
to be treated separately as Filer or Non-Filer. In terms of the said clarification; tax of each joint-holder has been deducted on the
gross dividend amount determined by bifurcating the shareholding of each joint-holder on equal proportions, except where shareholding
proportion of joint-holder(s) is pre-defined as per the records of the Company’s Share Registrar and thus tax rates are applied in line
with respective proportions.
Those shareholders who are holding Folio/CDS jointly; are requested to notify (in writing) any change in their shareholding proportions
to Company’s Share Registrar (in case of physical shareholding) or their Participants/CDC Investor Account Services so that their
revised shareholding proportions are considered by the Company in all prospective dividend payouts of the Company, if any.
Members seeking exemption from deduction of income tax or are eligible for deduction at a reduced rate, are requested to submit
a valid tax exemption certificate or necessary documentary evidence as the case may be. Members desiring non-deduction of zakat
are also requested to submit a valid declaration for non-deduction of zakat.

The Directors are pleased to present their report together with the audited Group results of ICI Pakistan Limited
for the year ended June 30, 2017. The ICI Pakistan Group comprises of ICI Pakistan Limited, ICI Pakistan
PowerGen Limited (PowerGen), and Cirin Pharmaceuticals (Private) Limited (Cirin) and NutriCo Morinaga (Private)
Limited as its subsidiaries.
The Directors’ Report, which provides a commentary on the performance of ICI Pakistan Limited for the year
ended June 30, 2017, has been presented separately.
Net turnover of PowerGen for the year ended June 30, 2017 stood at PKR 450 million, being 16% higher as
compared to last year due to an increase in electricity units sold to the Polyester Business by 4% and a rebound
of furnace oil price by 39%. However, operating profit dipped by 19% (PKR 73 million versus PKR 91 million)
on account of higher repair and maintenance cost.
Cirin completed its first six months of operations as a wholly owned subsidiary of ICI Pakistan Limited by posting
a net turnover of PKR 408 million. During the post acquisition period, operating profits of Cirin were PKR 67
million.
Hy-Cortisone and Stanem were the major contributors to the performance. The Hattar Plant operated efficiently
and as per plan during the post acquisition period. As institutional sales remained strong, the Business shifted
its focus towards retails sales which are expected to open up new avenues. Cirin launched its first product
post-acquisition, under the brand name Sovir (Sofosbuvir); a systemic antiviral for the treatment of Hepatitis
C. This is in line with the Business’s focus on building a sustainable retail prescription business going forward
through restructuring and building up of the capacity of its sales force. The Company has also undertaken an
organisational review with plans to optimise operations further.
Going forward, Cirin will also be exploring further export opportunities in the next financial year. The major focus
will be to capitalise on the manufacturing capacity of the Business. Alongside this, the intent will also be to
leverage the sales network and marketing capabilities of ICI Pakistan Limited to broaden the customer base
for existing products, and to further enhance its product portfolios.

Pakistan vide its circular no. 17 of 2017 dated July 20, 2017 communicated that the Commission has decided that the companies
whose financial year closes on or before June 30, 2017 shall prepare their financial statements in accordance with the provisions
of the repealed Companies Ordinance, 1984. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with approved accounting standards as applicable in Pakistan. Approved accounting standards comprise of such
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and Islamic
Financial Accounting Standards (IFAS) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP) as are notified under

financial statements in subsequent years are discussed in note 46.
ICI Pakistan Limited Annual Report 2016 -17 F 69
Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Group has control. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights,
to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the
investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if, and only if, the Group has:
- power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);
- exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
- the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. To support this presumption and when the
Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances
in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
- the contractual arrangement(s) with the other vote holders of the investee;
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one
or more of the three elements of control.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date
when such control ceases. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed off during the year are
included in the profit and loss account from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the
subsidiary.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at
their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition
is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference
is recognised directly in the profit and loss account.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. For the purposes of impairment
testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, on the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash generating
units that are expected to benefit from the combination. Goodwill is tested annually or whenever there is an indication of impairment
exists. Impairment loss in respect of goodwill is recognised in profit and loss account and is not reversed in future periods.
The assets, liabilities, income and expenses of subsidiary companies are consolidated on a line by line basis and the carrying
value of investments held by the Holding Company is eliminated against the subsidiaries’ shareholders’ equity in the consolidated
financial statements.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income, expenses and unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group
companies are eliminated in full.
Subsidiaries have same reporting period as that of the Holding Company. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been
changed to confirm with accounting policies of the Group, wherever needed.
2.4 Associates
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the
financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies. The considerations
made in determining significant influence or joint control are similar to those necessary to determine control over subsidiaries.
The Group’s investment in its associate is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the
investment in the associate is carried in the balance sheet at cost plus post acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets
of the associate. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortised or
separately tested for impairment.
The Group’s share of its associate’s post-acquisition profits and losses is recognised in the profit and loss account, and its share
of profit of post-acquisition movements in reserve is recognised in consolidated reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition
movements are adjusted against the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in the associate equals or exceeds its interest
F 70 ICI Pakistan Limited Annual Report 2016 -17
in associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred
obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associate are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the
associate. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
Upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint control over the joint venture, the Group measures and recognises
any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture upon loss
of significant influence or joint control and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in
profit or loss.
Property, plant and equipment (except freehold land, buildings on freehold & leasehold land and plant & machinery) are stated
at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Freehold land, buildings on freehold land and leasehold
land and plant and machinery are stated at revalued amounts less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent
impairment losses, if any. Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost less impairment, if any. Cost of certain property, plant and
equipment comprises historical cost. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts of the property, plant and equipment and
the cost of borrowings for long-term construction projects, if the recognition criteria are met.
Depreciation charge is based on the straight-line method whereby the cost or revalued amount of an asset is written off to profit
and loss account over its estimated useful life after taking into account residual value, if material. The cost of leasehold land is
depreciated in equal installments over the lease period. Depreciation on additions is charged from the month in which the asset
is available for use and on disposals up to the month of disposal.
The residual value, depreciation method and the useful lives of each part of property, plant and equipment that is significant in
relation to the total cost of the asset are reviewed at each balance sheet date, and adjusted, if appropriate.
Maintenance and normal repairs are charged to profit and loss account as and when incurred. Improvements are capitalised
when it is probable that respective future economic benefits will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured
reliably. Assets replaced, if any, are derecognised.
Gains and losses on disposal of assets are taken to the profit and loss account, and the related surplus / deficit on revaluation
of property, plant and equipment is transferred directly to unappropriated profit.
Intangible assets with a finite useful life, such as certain softwares, licenses (including extraction rights, software licenses, etc.)
and property rights, are capitalised initially at cost and subsequently stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment
losses, if any.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful life such as brands are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. These
are tested for impairment annually at year end either individually or at the cash generating unit level, as appropriate when
circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to
which it relates. All other expenditures are recognized in profit and loss account as incurred.
Amortisation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Amortisation is recognized in profit and loss account on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets. Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are
reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted, if appropriate.
2.7 Investments
Investments that are stated at available for sale are measured at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs. For
investments traded in active market, fair value is determined by reference to quoted market price and the investments for which
a quoted market price is not available, or the fair value cannot be reasonably calculated, are measured at cost, subject to
impairment review at each balance sheet date.
Stores, spares and consumables are stated at the lower of weighted average cost and net realisable value. Net realizable value
is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less net estimated cost to sell, which is generally equivalent to
replacement cost. Items in transit are valued at cost comprising invoice value plus other charges incurred thereon up to the
balance sheet date.
ICI Pakistan Limited Annual Report 2016 -17 F 71
2.9 Stock-in-trade
Stock-in-trade is valued at the lower of weighted average cost and estimated net realisable value.
Cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present
location and condition. Net realisable value signifies the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less net estimated
costs of completion and selling expenses.
Stocks in transit are valued at cost comprising invoice value plus other charges incurred thereon up to the balance sheet date.
Trade debts and other receivables are recognised at original invoice amount less provision for doubtful debts and other receivables,
if any. A provision for doubtful debts and other receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Company
will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables (Refer note 43.6.1). Bad Debts are written
off when identified.
2.11 Taxation
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in the profit and loss account, except
to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in other comprehensive income or below equity, in which case it is
recognised in other comprehensive income or below equity, respectively.
Current
Provision for current taxation is based on taxable income at the enacted or substantively enacted rates of taxation after taking
into account available tax credits and rebates, if any. The charge for current tax includes adjustments to charge for prior years,
if any.
PowerGen's profits and gains derived from power generation are exempt from tax under clause 132 of Part I of the Second
Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 and are also exempt from turnover tax under clause 11A of Part IV of the Second
Schedule of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
Deferred
Deferred tax is recognised using balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax
provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using the
enacted or substantively enacted rates of taxation. In this regard, the effects on deferred taxation on the portion of income
expected to be subject to final tax regime is adjusted in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Technical Release –
27 of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan.
The Group recognises a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits for the foreseeable future will be
available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that
the related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit and loss account is recognised outside profit and loss account. Deferred
tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Further, the Group recognises deferred tax asset / liability on deficit / surplus on revaluation of property, plant and equipment
which is adjusted against the related deficit / surplus.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash in hand and current and deposit accounts held with banks. Short term finance
facilities availed by the Group, which are payable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are
included as part of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of statement of cash flows.
2.13 Impairment
Financial assets
Financial assets are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that they are impaired. A
financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset,
F 72 ICI Pakistan Limited Annual Report 2016 -17
and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.
Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired may include default or delinquency by a debtor, indications that a debtor
or issuer will enter bankruptcy.
All individually significant receivables are assessed for specific impairment. All individually significant receivables found not to be
specifically impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identified. Receivables
that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together receivables with similar risk
characteristics.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying
amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses
are recognised in profit and loss account and reflected in an allowance account against receivables. Interest on the impaired
asset continues to be recognised through the unwinding of the discount. When a subsequent event causes the amount of
impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit and loss account.
Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of non-financial assets other than inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date
to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is
estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value-in-use and its fair value less
costs to sell. In assessing value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the
purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets
that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of
assets (“the cash-generating unit, or CGU”).
The Group’s corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows. If there is an indication that a corporate asset may be
impaired, then the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the corporate asset belongs. An impairment loss is
recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are
recognised in profit and loss account.
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased
or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable
amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount
that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
The surplus arising on revaluation of fixed assets is credited to the “Surplus on Revaluation of property, plant and equipment”
account shown below equity in the balance sheet in accordance with the requirements of section 235 of the repealed Companies
Ordinance, 1984. The said section was amended through the Companies (Amendment) Ordinance, 2002 and accordingly the
Group has adopted the following accounting treatment of depreciation on revalued assets, keeping in view the Securities and
Exchange Commission of Pakistan’s (SECP) SRO 45(1)/2003 dated January 13, 2003:
a) depreciation on assets which are revalued is determined with reference to the value assigned to such assets on revaluation
and depreciation charge for the year is taken to the profit and loss account; and
b) an amount equal to incremental depreciation for the year net of deferred taxation is transferred from “Surplus on Revaluation
of property plant and equipment” account to unappropriated profit / loss through Statement of Changes in Equity to record
realization of surplus to the extent of the incremental depreciation charge for the year.
The Group’s retirement benefit plans comprise of provident funds, pensions, gratuity schemes and a medical scheme for eligible
retired employees.
The Group operates a funded pension scheme and a funded gratuity scheme for management staff. The pension and gratuity
schemes are salary schemes providing pension and lump sums, respectively. Pension and gratuity schemes for management
staff are invested through two approved trust funds. The Group also operates gratuity scheme for non-management staff and
the pensioners’ medical scheme which are unfunded. The pension and gratuity plans are final salary plans. The pensioner’s
medical plan reimburses actual medical expenses to pensioners as per entitlement. The Group recognises expense in accordance
with IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”.
ICI Pakistan Limited Annual Report 2016 -17 F 73
An actuarial valuation of all defined benefit schemes is conducted every year. The valuation uses the Projected Unit Credit method.
Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in full in the period in which they occur in other comprehensive income.
All past service costs are recognized at the earlier of when the amendment or curtailment occurs and when the Group has
recognized related restructuring or termination benefits.
The Group operates two registered contributory provident funds for its entire staff and a registered defined contribution
superannuation fund for its management staff, who have either opted for this fund by July 31, 2004 or have joined the Group
after April 30, 2004. In addition to this, the Group also provides group insurance to all its employees.
Compensated absences
The Group recognizes the accrual for compensated absences in respect of employees for which these are earned up to the
balance sheet date. The accrual has been recognized on the basis of actuarial valuation.
Leases, other than those under Ijarah contracts, in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained
by the lessor, are classified as operating leases. Ijarah contracts are classified as operating leases irrespective of whether significant
portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by lessor. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives
received from the lessor) and Ijarah contracts are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the period
of the lease.
Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable cost, if any.
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense
in the period in which these are incurred except to the extent of borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction or production of a qualifying asset. Such borrowing costs, if any, are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.
2.19 Provisions
A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event,
and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be
made of the amount of obligation. The amount recognized as a provision reflects the best estimate of the expenditure required
to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.
All financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value net of directly attributable cost, if any, and subsequently measured at
amortised cost.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated to Pak Rupees, at the foreign exchange rate prevailing at the date
of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are re-translated into Pak Rupees at the foreign exchange
rates at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences are taken to the profit and loss account.
Items included in the consolidated financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment
in which the Group operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Pak Rupees, which is the Group’s functional
and presentation currency.
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be
measured reliably. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates
and government levies.
F 74 ICI Pakistan Limited Annual Report 2016 -17
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the
customer. For those products which are often sold with a right of return, accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide
for such returns at the time of sale.
Profit on short-term deposits is accounted for on a time-apportioned basis using the effective interest rate method.
Financial expenses are recognised using the effective interest rate method and comprise foreign currency losses and markup /
interest expense on borrowings.
Financial income comprises interest income on funds invested. Markup / interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit and
loss account, using the effective interest rate method.
2.25 Dividend
Dividend distribution to the Group’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the period in which the dividends are approved.
However, if these are approved after the reporting period but before the financial statement are authorised for issue, disclosure
is made in the financial statements.
Segment reporting is based on the operating (business) segments of the Group. An operating segment is a component of the
Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses
that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. An operating segment’s operating results are reviewed
regularly by the Chief Executive Officer (the CEO) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess
its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.
Segment results that are reported to the CEO include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be
allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets, income tax assets, liabilities and related
income and expenditure. Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the year to acquire property, plant and
equipment.
The business segments are engaged in providing products or services which are subject to risks and rewards which differ from
the risk and rewards of other segments. Segments reported are Polyester, Soda Ash, Life Sciences (includes Cirin), Chemicals
and others (PowerGen and NutriCo Morinaga), which also reflects the management structure of the Group.
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate risks arising from
operational, financing and investment activities. In accordance with its treasury policy, the Group does not hold or issue derivative
financial instruments for trading purposes. Derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting are accounted for accordingly whereas,
derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for as held for trading instruments. All changes in the fair
value are recognized in the profit and loss account.
2.28 Off-setting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated financial statements only when there
is, legally enforceable right to set-off the recognised amount and the Group intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise
the assets and to settle the liabilities simultaneously.
ICI Pakistan Limited Annual Report 2016 -17 F 75
On 23rd December 2016, the Company acquired 100% shareholding of Cirin Pharmaceuticals (Private) Limited against a gross
consideration of PKR 1,075 million.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their carrying value which are
approximately equal to to fair value, exept:
- Fair valuation of land, buildings and plant and machinery was carried out as at 23rd December 2016 by independent valuer on the
basis of present market value. The fair value of assets fall under level 2 of fair value hierarchy (i.e. significant observable inputs).
- Fair value of intangible assets (brands) is determined at the acquisition date using relief from royalty method. The fair value of intangible
assets fall under level 3 of fair value hierarchy (i.e. input for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data).
The following summarizes the estimated fair values of consideration paid, non-controlling interests as well as the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed at the date of acquistion:
3.1.1 The management has decided to finalize the determination of valuation of assets acquired within one year from the acquisition
date, which is allowed under IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" as measurement period, therefore provisional figures based on
latest available information have been considered for the acquisition accounting.
On 6th March 2017, the Company entered into a joint venture with Morinaga Milk Industry Company Limited ("Morinaga") of
Japan and Unibrands (Private) Limited ("Unibrands") to set up a plant for manufacturing infant/growing up formula. To initiate
this project, a new Company has been incorporated which is a subsidiary of ICI Pakistan Limited in which 51% shareholding
is held by ICI Pakistan Limited.

25.1.2 Cirin Pharmaceuticals (Pvt.) Ltd has been manufacturing its own registered product Carnem (Meropenem) (“Product”) and
marketing it through a company named Laderly Bio-tech Pharma (‘Laderly’). The agreement for such arrangement expired in
the year 2015 and later completed its extended one-year term in the year 2016. Both companies agreed to manufacture final
batches of the Product just before the acquisition by the Company. However post-acquisition, Laderly demanded to have the
Product transferred in its name.
Thereafter, Laderly initiated legal proceedings against Cirin for getting the product transferred in its name. Cirin’s stance is that
since Laderly does not hold a drug manufacturing license, it is not legally permissible for Laderly to manufacture drugs, and
therefore the Product cannot be transferred to Laderly. At present, the matter is pending adjudication in court and Cirin is
strongly contesting the matter. The chances of a favorable outcome for Cirin are expected.

of the industrial establishment in a particular year, was amended to charge on higher of total (taxable) income or profit before tax
as per account. During the year, the Honorable Supreme Court of Pakistan through its judgement dated 10 October 2016, in Civil
Appeals No. 1049 to 1055/2011 decided that amendments in WWF Ordinance made through Finance Acts were unconstitutional.
Accordingly, the Company has reversed the excess provision calculated on the basis of profit before tax as per accounts.

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other
price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management policy focuses on the unpredictability of financial
markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework.
The executive management team is responsible for developing and monitoring the Group’s risk management policies. The team
regularly meets and any changes and compliance issues are reported to the Board of Directors through the audit committee.
Risk management systems are reviewed regularly by the executive management team to reflect changes in market conditions
and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a
disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The audit committee oversees compliance by management with the Group’s risk management policies and procedures, and
reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group.
42 Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market
prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market interest rates. The Group mitigates its risk against the exposure by focusing on short-term investment and maintaining
adequate bank balances. At the balance sheet date the interest rate profile of Group's interest-bearing financial instruments
were:

Financial liabilities - Note 20 and 21 (2,061,988) (1,675,258)

The Group does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, therefore a change
in interest rates at the balance sheet date would not affect profit or loss.
If KIBOR had been 1% higher / lower with all other variables held constant, the impact on the profit before tax for the year would
have been PKR 42.122 million (June 30, 2016: PKR 44.094 million).
F 100 ICI Pakistan Limited Annual Report 2016 -17
"Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
foreign exchange rates. Foreign currency risk arises mainly where receivables and payables exist due to transactions entered into are
denominated in foreign currencies. The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on sales and purchases which are entered in a
currency other than Pak Rupees. When the management expects future depreciation of Pak Rupees, the Group enters into forward
foreign exchange contracts in accordance with State Bank of Pakistan instructions and the Group's treasury policy. The policy allows
the Group to take currency exposure within predefined limits while open exposures are rigorously monitored.
Following is the gross balance sheet exposure classified into separate foreign currencies:
Sensitivity analysis
Every 1% increase or decrease in exchange rate with all other variables held constant will decrease or increase profit before
tax for the year by PKR 28.935 million (June 30, 2016: PKR 19.249 million). The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to
the change in exchange rates. As at June 30, 2017, if Pak Rupee (PKR) had weakened / strengthened by 1% against other
currencies, with all other variables held constant, the effect on the Group's profit before tax at June 30, 2017 and June 30,
2016 would be as follows:
2017
Pak Rupee +1% 6,064 1,574 21,190 101 5

ICI Pakistan Limited Annual Report 2016 -17 F 101
Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognised at the reporting date if counter-parties failed completely to
perform as contracted. The Group does not have significant exposure to any individual counter-party. To reduce exposure to credit
risk the Group has developed a formal approval process whereby credit limits are applied to its customers. The management also
regularly monitors the credit exposure towards the customers and makes provision against those balances considered doubtful
of recovery. To mitigate the risk, the Group has a system of assigning credit limits to its customers based on evaluation based on
customer profile and payment history. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. Some customers are also
secured, where possible, by way of inland letters of credit, cash security deposit, bank guarantees and insurance guarantees.
The Group's gross maximum exposure to credit risk at the balance sheet date is as follows:

43.6.1 The recommended approach for provision is to assess the top layer (covering 50%) of trade receivables on an individual basis
and apply a dynamic approach to the remainder of receivables. The procedure introduces a Group-standard for dynamic
provisioning:
• Provide an impairment loss for 50% of the outstanding receivable when overdue more than 90 days, and
• Provide impairment loss for 100% when overdue more than 120 days.
The sector wise analysis of receivables, comprising trade debts, loans and advances and bank balances are given below:

43.8 Other price risk is the risk that the value of future cash flows of the financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market prices such as equity price risk. Equity price risk is the risk arising from uncertainties about future values of investment
securities. As at the balance sheet date, the Group is not materially exposed to other price risk.
ICI Pakistan Limited Annual Report 2016 -17 F 103
44 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. Prudent
liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through
an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. The Group treasury aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping
committed credit lines available.

It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier or at significantly different

The Group's objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern so that it can
continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and to maintain a strong capital base to support
the sustained development of its businesses.
The Group manages its capital structure by monitoring return on net assets and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes
in economic conditions. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid
to shareholders or issue new shares. The Group also monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt, interest bearing
loans and borrowings including finance cost thereon, trade and other payables, less cash and bank balances. Capital signifies
equity as shown in the balance sheet plus net debt. The gearing ratio as at June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 is as follows:

The Company takes into account the current income and sales tax law and decisions taken by appellate authorities. Instances
where the Companys's view differs from the view taken by the authorities at the assessment stage and where the Company
considers that its view on items of material nature is in accordance with law, the amounts are shown as contingent liabilities
(unless there is remote possibility of transfer of benefits). The details of the tax matters are as follows:
In the case of assessment year 1998-99, the Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue (The Tribunal) on September 19, 2008 had set
aside the assessments made by FBR. The re-assessment was finalized by the department on June 29, 2010 in which the issues
pertaining to date of commissioning of PTA’s plant & the tax depreciation claimed thereon, restriction of cost of capitalization of
PTA plant and addition to income in respect of trial production stocks were decided against the Company. The Company had filed
an appeal against the said order before the CIR (Appeals) which was decided on November 24, 2015 in which the issue of date
of commissioning of PTA’s plant & the tax depreciation claimed thereon and the issue of addition to income in respect of trial
production stocks were decided in Company 's favour however the issue of restriction of cost of capitalization of PTA plant was
decided against the Company. The Company and FBR have filed the appeals on respective matters decided against them in
Tribunal the hearing of which is yet to be conducted.
In the case of assessment year 2002-2003, on receipt of notice under section 62 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 1979, the Company
had filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court, after it being dismissed by the Sindh High Court on maintainability, challenging FBR’s
notice which stated that the effective date of PTA’s demerger was August 6, 2001 (falling in assessment year 2002-03) rather than
the effective date given in the Scheme of Arrangement as October 1, 2000 (which falls in assessment year 2001-02). The notice
had raised certain issues relating to vesting of PTA assets by the Company. On March 18, 2015, the Supreme Court has passed
an interim order stating that this case has nexus with the case of assessment year 2001-02 and hearing will
ICI Pakistan Limited Annual Report 2016 -17 F 105
take place once the High Court decides the case in assessment year 2001-02. The High Court decided the same in favor of
the Company and stated that the assessment for AY 2001-2002 is time barred. The department filed an appeal in the Supreme
Court against the order of the High Court. On March 13, 2017, the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of the department
pertaining to assessment year 2001-2002 and upheld the directions of the High Court and adjudged the case as being barred
by limitation and thereby restoring the position in the original order whereby unabsorbed depreciation was allowed. Further, the
Supreme Court gave directions to the company vide its order dated March 14, 2017 to file its reply to the notice dated May 26,
2005 with respect to AY 2002-2003. Thereafter the Company submitted its response to the department in consultation with its
external counsel. On May 15, 2017 the DCIR passed its assessment order disallowing depreciation relating to PTA assets,
Capital Gain on Transfer of PTA Plant, Capital Gain on exchange of Shares, Financial charges on loans Subordinate to Pakistan
PTA, Excess Perquisites, discounts, Interest paid to ICI Japan, Provisions and Write Offs. An appeal with the CIR has been filed
by the company against the said order. This appeal is still pending. Further, the Company filed an appeal in the Sindh High Court
against the said order which has granted stay against the said order.
In the case of Tax Years 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, FBR had made disallowances on the matters
related to provisions charged under various heads, financial charges, gain on disposal of fixed assets, exchange loss, proration
of expenses against capital gains and interest free loans offered to employees. The CIR (Appeals) has allowed all the issues in
Tax Years 2003 to 2010 in Company's favor (except 2 issues in tax year 2003 and 2010) against which appeals have been filed
by FBR in the Tribunal. Out of the 2 issues which were not decided in Company's favor, one relates to disallowance of financial
charges in tax year 2003 which has now been decided in company's favor in the order dated June 15, 2017, whereby with
respect to issue pertaining to tax year 2010, we have filed an appeal in the Tribunal against CIR (Appeals)’s decision.
The Additional Commissioner Inland Revenue (ACIR) through its order dated June 07, 2012 disallowed tax loss on disposal of
fixed assets on the grounds that the same were sold through negotiations and not through auction as required by law. ICI filed an
appeal against the said order with the Commissioner Inland Revenue (CIR), who decided the appeal in company’s favor.
Consequently the ACIR being dissatisfied with the CIR order filed an appeal with the ATIR. ATIR through his order dated December
01, 2016 decided the matter against ICI. ICI had filed an appeal in the High Court against the said order, the hearing of which is
yet to be conducted
Availing the exemption as per clause 103 A, Part 1, 2nd Schedule of Income Tax Ordinance 2001 on inter-corporate dividend paid
to Group Company entitled to Group Relief under section 59 B of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001, ICI disbursed the dividend
without tax deduction to Lucky Holdings for dividends announced on 27th August, 2015 and on 19th February, 2016. However,
Federal Board of Revenue not being satisfied, through an Order dated 2nd September, 2016, has called for the deposit of tax on
such dividends along with penalties and additional tax. The Company filed an appeal against the said order in the High Court which
has granted a stay against the said order. The Company is confident that there is no merit in this claim of FBR
"In course of conducting a sales tax audit for the period July 2012 to June 2013, DCIR of FBR raised certain issues with respect to
exemption and zero-rating / reduced rate benefit available to the Company on its sales. On September 12, 2014 the Company received
an order in which demand of PKR 952 million was raised. An appeal was filed with CIR(A) which was decided against the Company
however directions were given to DCIR to amend the original order if the returns are revised by the Company subject to approval of
FBR itself. The application for revision of return filed by the Company is pending with FBR. The Company being aggrieved has filed a
suit in the Sindh High Court for relief in which the Court has granted ad-interim relief till the next date of hearing which is yet to take
place. The Company is confident that there is no merit in this claim of FBR regarding revenue loss and hence, considering no probability
that the case would be decided against the Company, no provision in respect of this has been made in these financial statements.
Certain actuarial assumptions have been adopted as disclosed in note 18 to the consolidated financial statements for valuation
of present value of defined benefit obligations and fair value of plan assets. Any changes in these assumptions in future years
might affect gains and losses in those years.
The estimates for revalued amounts, if any, of different classes of property, plant and equipment, are based on valuation performed
by external professional valuer and recommendation of technical teams of the Group. The said recommendations also include
estimates with respect to residual values and depreciable lives. Further, the Group reviews the value of the assets for possible
impairment on an annual basis. The future cash flows used in the impairment testing of assets is based on management's best
estimates which may change in future periods. Any change in the estimates in future years might affect the carrying amounts of
the respective items of property, plant and equipment with a corresponding affect on the depreciation charge and impairment.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are consistent with those of the
previous financial year except as follows :
